Egwusi had it's original from Igbo or should I say it's more of a coincidence, because Yoruba and Igbo have many words in common.
Our forefathers and ancestors ate egwusi soup even before the rise and fall of civilization.
There is nothing like Egwusi. Egusi is Egusi. It is Yoruba.

It was your forefathers that could not pronounce it the right way and they come transfer am to their children.

The same way you can't pronounce Brother and you call it Bloda. grin

Nothing like Egwusi . grin

Somehow the culture and tradition of the eastern Nigeria disappeared the moment they landed in Brazil. Lol.
The guy is a clown. The culture of the Yoruba follows them everywhere and they keep them jealously. That's why they still keep all the names and terms. Kudos to our ancestors.

The day I asked a Seriealeone girl in my church what her name was she told me exactly the meaning in Yoruba *Kashope" (let's give praise)
These people make moinmoin and call it same name. They even call it the second name Olele (the E with dots under them)

Abeg stop this yoruba descendants in Brazil mata. It is the other way around "Brazil descendants in the sw".

As a matter of long mathematics, many slaves to brazil were from the east of Nigeria. But when the Brazilians were escaping Brazil for decades, most of them went to Lagos, and then most of them spread throughout the sw. Most of the SE, cross Rivers, and akwa ibom
were fighting wars for hundreds of years - first against the arabs, against the Portuguese, then against the British (which ended in 1902); and mind you we also had internal wars between some igbos and tribes in akwa ibom and cross Rivers. So, the Brazilians that came back couldn't go to the east. Matter of fact, most blacks in Brazil are having african gene result traced back to east, akwa ibom and cross Rivers. Of course, Angola, Congo, and other west African countries. Yes, some, a few were yorubas.

Brazil is appreciative of yoruba for taking them in. The truth is, the colonial masters in Africa preferred the Brazilian escapees to be their help and help ease the locals. It worked. At least 5 million or more yorubas today, were Brazilian descents. Now though, they have mixed with core yorubas and even other tribes in Nigeria.

As for the food, if you say so. I respect your opinion.
Your History get Kleg oga.
Go to all those African countries where slaves were dropped after slave trade. You won't find Igbo.

In Gambia. The Yoruba tribe is called the Aku tribe.
They bear every indigenous Yoruba names. Ojo Babatunde Alaba Wande.

Likewise in Seriealeone they call the Yoruba tribe Oje tribe. Togo etc.
They all have Yoruba foods and gods with same names. Moinmoin is moinmoin and akara is Akara. I lived with them when I was in Gambia. Many were members of my church.

Lying won't get anyone anywhere. cheesy

Same Akara that's called a Yoruba food in Brazil.
Do you mind these kids?
In Seriealeone the Yoruba tribe are descendants of slaves from USA . They call moinmoin the two names Yoruba call it. Moinmoin and Olele. They call it their forefathers food. Akara is Akara Apoti is Apoti ehinkule is still the same.

Our government failed in teaching kids history and culture.

You know what’s funny with all these tribalistic people
Even white people will see their food and call it disgusting
People should just embrace tolerance or stay in their lane rather than spewing jealousy or looking down on other peoples culture
There are other things they eat people from other cultures would find disgusting
Different people with different taste buds
The most tolerant people are the most progressive
It just baffles me how people come online with limited knowledge to start bashing other cultures

That's why they're hated everywhere. See the way people were happy as their shops were demolished in computer village. Everywhere they go, they will invite HATRED on themselves and they cant stay in their potopoto republic. Go to Ghana, South Africa even Pakistan and see the way they hate them. The issue I have is that some countries are MIXING THEM UP with other parts of Nigeria.
Yorubas are now telling people the difference outside Naija. So, now when you say I'm a Nigerian they'll ask you "Yoruba or Ibo?"
They want to know if they should run or not.

You lack comprehension, I said senseless ppl like HIM (meaning Igboho) I never referred to you. Your response jumping to insults shows how mannerless you are. Also talking about being abroad as if it is an achievement. I am responding from my million dollar home, a Dual-citizen (North America+Naija) plus PR holder of another amazing country but it isn’t an achievement just stating it as it seems being in Europe is the ceiling of your worthless being on Earth. I earned more than your combined 5 year pittance you call salary last year. I am not on your level. If you were civilized and educated, you will learn to read, comprehend before responding. Iwo alaayi nii ironu. Bragging about living in Europe, you no get shame sha grin cheesy

Back to Igboho, thank you for clarifying only a fool like him puts his family in Europe and asks other ppl kids to sacrifice their lives for his relevance. At the first sign of trouble he dressed like a woman to abscond, what a coward he is.
Nice. You got me for I read your words wrongly. So, I misquoted you. I just went back and saw I acted in error.
Sorry for that.

But, Responding from a million dollar home doesn't 'shack' guys like me o. cheesy
I've got chances to be responding from a multimillion dollar home but would not venture into such. So, forget about the brag that has to do with money. When I brag I don't brag with money. We all know how things dey run.

Back to Igboho. Calling him senseless by you is an error. Mocking him for being an illiterate is an error as well. Because being an illiterate does not make anyone a fool.

There is a reason for him being called Igboho.
Igboho is a town in Yoruba land.
Google what menace the Fulani herdsmen have caused in Igboho and its environ especially during Buhari erra. Killing of farmers and raping of their women for more than a year. This is where the guy comes from and you call his quarrel with the government senseless?
This is the basis of his agitation that later metamorphosed into Yoruba Nation.

Why would you call that being senseless if you are not one of those tribalistic people on the platform?

Lastly. illiteracy doesn't make anyone a fool.

Peace out!

Are you telling me that if we asked Sunday to write a Yoruba essay he will be able to do that effortlessly. Yes you are right I am mocking him because senseless ppl like him will lead ppl to early graves agitating for a ridiculous cause.
Your response to me calling me senseless when I did not insult you proves you were raised by animals.

Your father is so stupid to have raised a child as uncultured as you.

The Igboho you are mocking though not literate enough, is smarter than your entire generation. That is why he has his whole family abroad. grin
He himself has access to Europe.

Do you have?

Is the fool you call a father having such?

I that you have called senseless, am smarter than those you call parents.

If they gave you the legacy I've given my children you won't be insulting people on the internet.

I am responding to your senseless post from outside Naija. My kids and wife live in Europe. grin

You are languishing in Nigeria and using free data to insult people who could be of help to your miserable life in the future.

Anyway make egbon Igboho take am easy, last time they caught him dressed like a woman in Benin Republic. Nnamdi is still cooling his heels in Kuje wearing Balenciaga after he was nabbed in Kenya looking for Olosho all the way from UK.
You think your mocking his ability to speak English is right?

Have you ever heard about people hiring media persons?

You too can hire one if you have the money.

You are not a native English speaker therefore, no matter how good you think you are in English you still make errors.

You won't know until you write books and give it to a professional editors.

In a nutshell, leave Igboho alone with his English. He was not born in England. And learn not to mock people who speak foreign languages. Bad grammar does not determine smartness.
